Running Tools

This skill includes Python scripts in scripts/ that call MCP tools directly.

To use these scripts, install: pip install fastmcp

{% endif %}

{% set tools = colin.mcp.source.list_tools() %}

Tools

This server provides {{ tools | length }} tool(s):

{% for tool in tools %}

{% set tool_doc = ref(skill_name ~ "/" ~ tool.name ~ ".md") %}

  • {{ tool.name }}{% if tool_doc and tool_doc.sections.summary %} - {{ tool_doc.sections.summary }}{% endif %}

{% endfor %}

{% endfile %}

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take prefecthq/models from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
